Terry--I read your comments correlating various manufacturers whites. Can you tell me when American Standard changed to the "New White"?
Many thanks for an informative site. Looking forward to delivery of my two Vespin II toilets for my remodel!
Recently purchased a ToTo Clayton and a ToTo Ultramax, both in Cotton. The Clayton is true to color, however, the Ultamax is a gray-white...not even close to the described Cotton or the brightness of the Clayton. Has anyone experienced this?
I haven't experienced that. Are you looking at the tank lids in the same room, side by side?
White tends to reflect whatever it is close to.
Yep! Took the lids off each and compared them under the lighting in both rooms and even other rooms and they are different.

I read your earlier posts about bath fixture colors, which were initially most helpful. But now I'm really confused. I'm trying to match a new Kohler vanity sink with my current tub and toilet fixtures, which are American Standard bone. I went to a local Ferguson's and they suggested Kohler biscuit, rather than almond (which did look more taupe/tan on their color chart, than the AmerStandard bone sample I took with me to compare). I researched the colors further and found an online site for a company that supplies the dry pigment for bath fixtures (www.marblecolors.com). They had some pigment comparisons of AmerStandard, Toto, and Kohler. The Kohler almond they show is much darker than the American Standard bone. The Kohler biscuit seems to be a better match. I hate to order the wrong color sink, and the only Kohler fixtures our local retailers offer in their showrooms are white or biscuit. There was no almond to compare other than the color chart. Should I order Kohler almond or biscuit to match my American Standard bone? Help! --PatB
PS-- AS = American Standard and K = Kohler on the attached samples.
American Standard Bone has always been a fairly close match to Kohler Almond and TOTO Bone.
American Standard Linen is the match to Kohler Biscuit and Toto Sedona Beige.
It has been this way for years. Perhaps the showroom that you go to needs to read this page. It would help their confusion about colors.
Sometimes the color is stamped or marked inside the tank. 02-03 would be more like Cotton.

Ludicolo might initially seem like a terrible choice due to its poor movepool and subpar stats. However, Ludicolo gets Swift Swim, which doubles its Speed in rain, something easy to make use of as it is really common in Ubers due to the prevalence of Kyogre. Ludicolo might have a shallow movepool, but it attains great coverage from STAB Hydro Pump, Grass Knot, Ice Beam, and Focus Blast. Even Ferrothorn, the most popular Water-type resist in the tier, loses to Ludicolo as it is 2HKOed by Focus Blast. However, Ludicolo is no slouch defensively either. With its decent base 100 Special Defense and fantastic defensive typing, (which gives it weaknesses to Bug-, Flying-, and Poison-type attacks, all of which are rarely used in the Uber tier), Ludicolo can efficiently run a Leech Seed set. However, what really sets Ludicolo apart from its fellow Leech Seed users, such as Ferrothorn, is its access to Rain Dish, which heals Ludicolo's health by 6.25% per turn when it is raining. Ludicolo can potentially heal 25% of its health every turn factoring in Leech Seed, Leftovers, and Rain Dish. Ludicolo is also one of few Pokemon who can boast being able to check Choice Specs Kyogre. All in all, Ludicolo is probably the greatest example of the fact that appearances can be deceiving and every team ought to prepare for this pineapple or risk getting swept in its furious rampage.
This is Ludicolo's standard offensive set. A Life Orb and rain-boosted STAB Hydro Pump will dent any Pokemon not named Blissey or Chansey. Surf can be used over Hydro Pump if the 80% accuracy gives you the jitters, but Ludicolo will usually want as much power as it can get. Grass Knot is an excellent choice in Ubers thanks to the heavyweights that infest the tier, and will usually be inflicting maximum damage. Ice Beam has great coverage in Ubers and will easily OHKO Rayquaza and Shaymin-S on the switch. Focus Blast is Ludicolo's only option against Ferrothorn, Dialga, and, to a lesser extent, Tyranitar, who all laugh at Ludicolo's other moves. Indeed, Ludicolo's greatest niche over other rain sweepers is its ability to beat Ferrothorn one-on-one. Focus Blast will 2HKO Ferrothorn, and Ludicolo is immune to Leech Seed and resistant to Gyro Ball. This set attains great coverage, resisted only by Shedinja, who is easily taken care of via Stealth Rock. As Ludicolo is not blessed with offensive stats similar to those of Dialga or Palkia, this set is best used as a mid-game revenge killer or a late-game sweeper, who can plow through teams once the walls have been weakened a bit.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
One might wonder why Ludicolo would make a better Leech Seed user over Ferrothorn, who has better defensive stats and typing, stronger offenses, and better support options. However, Ludicolo does have a few tricks up its sleeve that Ferrothorn would die for. Firstly, Rain Dish is an excellent ability in Ubers where rain is everywhere thanks to the abundance of Kyogre. With Leech Seed, Rain Dish, and Leftovers, Ludicolo can heal 25% of its HP in a single turn, allowing it to outstall numerous Pokemon such as Choice Kyogre and Palkia. Ludicolo is also never 2HKOed by a full-powered Water Spout from Modest Choice Specs Kyogre, something not even Chansey can boast of. Secondly, Ludicolo's defenses are nothing to laugh at and Grass / Water is an excellent defensive typing, providing an important 2x resist to Ground-type attacks and a crucial 4x resist to Water-type attacks. As this set causes numerous switches, Substitute is very useful for providing Ludicolo with status immunity, as well as the ability to beat Chansey and Blissey. On the other hand, Ice Beam allows Ludicolo to OHKO Rayquaza, Garchomp, and Salamence. Grass Knot helps Ludicolo deal with Groudon and offensive Kyogre, both of whom are 2HKOed, and is usually a reliable offensive option against the likes of Palkia and Mewtwo. Protect allows Ludicolo to get some free HP while inflicting some damage if the opponent has been seeded.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Ludicolo does get access to Swords Dance, but with its frail defenses, it will not be able to set up and can still be walled even at +2. Scald can be used over Ice Beam on the SubSeed set to burn sweepers, but Ice Beam wards off Rayquaza, Garchomp, and Shaymin-S. Lastly, Giga Drain could be used over Grass Knot, but does significantly less damage than Grass Knot on average, as most Pokemon in Ubers are heavy.
Checks and Counters
Groudon can change the weather and use Thunder Wave to cripple Ludicolo for the rest of the match, but it is 2HKOed by Grass Knot. Dialga makes a fantastic check to Ludicolo as it is rarely OHKOed by Focus Blast, while Ludicolo's other moves barely gash the Steel Dragon. Draco Meteor coming off Dialga's mammoth Special Attack stat will OHKO offensive Ludicolo variants factoring in Life Orb recoil, while the SubSeed variant takes a meaty 56.9% - 67%, assuming Dialga runs a Modest nature and 252 SpA EVs. Choice Scarf Shaymin-S outspeeds Ludicolo even when it is raining and can OHKO with a STAB Air Slash. Giratina can stomach two Ice Beams and either burn Ludicolo with Will-O-Wisp or phaze it out with Dragon Tail. Rayquaza resists every one of Ludicolo's moves except Ice Beam, cancels the weather, and KOes with STAB Outrage. Grass Arceus can beat Ludicolo by bagging Calm Minds and Recovering off the damage. However, it does stand a chance of being beaten by offensive variants if it switches into Ice Beam and Ludicolo gets high damage rolls on the consecutive turns. Bug Arceus can take a rain-boosted Hydro Pump from Ludicolo and OHKO back with Judgment. Ferrothorn can 2HKO the SubSeed set with Power Whip, but loses to the offensive set. If it is not raining, most Uber sweepers will outspeed offensive variants of Ludicolo and can OHKO it with a powerful attack such as Draco Meteor or Outrage.

|Breast Health at Menopause
|Written by Editors, Red Hot Mamas
|Wednesday, 28 March 2007 05:09
Do you need to be concerned with your breast health during menopause? Absolutely! The breast is responsive to a complex interplay of hormones. From adolescence through menopause, as hormones change, so does breast tissue. As estrogen and progesterone levels fluctuate, it's not unusual for breasts to become sore or lumpy, and they sometimes form cysts. The tissue also changes because of the decreases in ovarian hormones, and breasts may shrink, there could be more fat growing in the breast, and they may begin to sag. Sure, many of these changes can be benign. But, since the chance of getting breast cancer increases with age and all women are at risk, we need to monitor our breast changes closely.
It's important to check your breasts at different times of the month, get to know your breasts, and give yourself a breast self examination. Many women experience painful breasts. There are many conditions that may cause this pain. Hormonal activity and fluid retention may make breasts tender or painful just before your period and/or during menopause. It is wise to have them checked by your doctor who may be able to suggest ways to manage the discomfort.
Common Benign Breast Changes at Menopause
With the rest of our body going through major changes during menopause, what makes you think your breasts aren't? During perimenopause and menopause, many women experience increased discomfort due to a change in hormone levels which effect breast tissue. Throughout postmenopause, the glandular tissue of the breast is largely replaced by fatty tissue.
Although many of these conditions are harmless, they should be checked by your doctor. Only a doctor can determine if lumpiness is benign. So if you feel any irregularities, you need to be examined by a health care provider.
Benign (noncancerous) breast lumpiness can occur with aging. The lumpiness usually occurs around the nipple and areola and/or in the upper-outer part of breasts. They may feel rubbery, firm or hard to the touch.
Lumpiness is common before and during menstruation and may become more prevalent as you approach middle-age (as the milk-producing tissue turns into soft, fatty tissue). Unless you are taking hormone therapy, this type of lumpiness generally goes away after menopause.
There is a difference between lumps and lumpiness. Lumpiness is simply normal breast tissue. If you are unsure whether you have a lump or lumpiness, always have it checked out by your doctor. Two kinds of lumps are cysts and fibroadenomas. Fibroadenomas typically occur when a woman is just starting to menstruate, and cysts occur typically when she's starting menopause.
One non malignant lump includes Fibroadenomas. These are small or large round masses that are usually painless. They are more common in women 15 to 30 years old and may get bigger during pregnancy and smaller after menopause. They may be moveable, firm or rubbery lumps. Fibroadenomas can sometimes stop growing or shrink on their own but they can easily be removed by surgery. Physicians usually recommend removal to ensure they are benign.
Cysts typically occur in women in ages 30 through early 50s. They are quite common as women approach menopause. It's absolutely important to have cysts checked out by your doctor. Many are harmless. However, sometimes cancers do appear. It's important to also remember that cysts don't increase the risk of cancer. Most research shows there is no relation between cysts and cancer. Every lump needs to be checked out to ensure it is not dangerous.
A common cause of non-cancerous lumps, thickening of the breast tissue and cysts is Benign Fibrocystic Disease. It's found more in women whose breasts are particularly sensitive to the monthly changes in hormone levels associated with menstruation. The problem usually disappears after menopause, although if you are taking hormone therapy the symptoms may continue. Cysts can be painful and are caused by fluid trapped in breast tissue. They should be checked by your health care provider who may be able to remove the fluid using a syringe with a fine needle. Sometimes they will need to be surgically removed.
Duct Ectasia is a condition that causes the ducts under the nipples to become inflamed and clogged. This affects as many as one in four women and is common as one nears menopause. Symptoms are thick, green or black sticky discharge or a hard lump. The problem can go away on its own or may be treated with warm compresses, antibiotics or surgery.
A Healthy Lifestyle Means Healthy Breasts
Getting to know your breasts and promoting good breast health should be second nature to you at this point in your life. But if it's not, there is no better time to start than now. There are certain lifestyle choices you can make that will benefit your breasts and general health through menopause and beyond.

Each hand-made piece reflects the philosophy of "wabi sabi" an aesthetic that honors the beauty of imperfection. Her work is a reflection to the variability that is nature, and just as no two snowflakes are alike, so too are each of her pieces unique in their beauty.
Most of the pieces are made of porcelain and range from bowls to cups to mugs to tiny vases to bells. Most are also white, though there is a bit of color in there on occasion. All pieces are priced and sold through the site.

WASHINGTON—President Barack Obama is ramping up the White House's postelection effort to generate public support for his preferred package of tax increases and spending cuts.
Leaders tackling the fiscal cliff return to Washington Monday with the eyes of the world on them and seemingly only one point settled: that they've all pledged to try for an agreement. Photo: Bloomberg News.
Falling Over the Fiscal Cliff
See some scenarios for how different groups of people may be affected by the tax changes that will take place if the fiscal cliff isn't resolved by the Jan. 1., 2013, deadline.
Mr. Obama, while standing firm on his viewpoint during talks with Republicans, called House and Senate leaders over the weekend to prod discussions, invited business leaders to the White House to enlist their support and planned a public event for Wednesday to press his position on taxes.
Like Mr. Obama, top House Republicans are planning to meet Wednesday with business leaders—including Erskine Bowles, co-chairman with former Sen. Alan Simpson, of the president's 2010 deficit-reduction commission.
Mr. Obama will use Wednesday's event, his first in what is expected to be a series in coming weeks, to call on House Republicans to immediately pass an extension of the Bush-era tax cuts for households making less than $250,000 a year. Republicans have opposed such a move, which would increase taxes on upper-income Americans.
All the Bush-era tax cuts expire in January, at the same time that automatic spending cuts go into effect—creating a double-whammy known as the "fiscal cliff." Congressional leaders and the White House are trying to strike a deal to avoid that scenario.
"People in both parties agree we need a 'balanced approach' to deal with our deficit and debt and help our economy create jobs,'' said House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio), whose office has circulated polling data they believe show that more Americans support the GOP approach of raising revenues without increasing tax rates.

Mr. Obama called Mr. Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) over the weekend to discuss the matter, White House and congressional officials said. The calls suggest high-level lines of communication remain open, even though the leaders aren't expected to meet this week after slim progress was made at staff-level talks last week.
The president will instead continue his own campaign to galvanize public support. On Wednesday he'll hold his second meeting in as many weeks with chief executives, people familiar with the meeting said.

More quote details and news » The CEO meetings have been arranged in part by White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett, people familiar with the planning said.
Republicans expressed frustration with what they see as posturing by the White House. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) criticized the president Wednesday for not offering more specific spending-cut proposals to match what Republicans believe are their concessions on raising taxes.
"It is time for the president to present a plan that rises above these reckless and radical voices on the hard left," Mr. McConnell said. "He's the only one who can lead his party to do something they wouldn't ordinarily do."
White House press secretary Jay Carney said the president is optimistic about the prospects of a bipartisan deal, citing softening in the GOP's resistance to tax increases. He reiterated the notion that Mr. Obama won't sign an extension of the Bush-era tax cuts for the top 2% of income earners.
During a White House briefing on Monday, Council of Economic Advisers Chairman Alan Krueger pushed to extend the temporary payroll-tax cut. Reuters
"The president has proposed closing loopholes and capping deductions, and is obviously interested in looking at other proposals along those lines," Mr. Carney told reporters Monday. "But he has made clear he will not sign an extension of the Bush-era tax cuts for the top 2% because it's bad economic policy."
Mr. Obama's approach is a stark contrast to his negotiating style of 2011's budget talks. During those talks, he met primarily with lawmakers, and at one point peeled off to unilaterally negotiate with Mr. Boehner. The White House felt that process hurt the president politically.
The enlistment of business is also a marked change for the administration. The two have been repeatedly at odds during Mr. Obama's first term.
The president's Wednesday CEO meeting comes the same day a number of other chief executives are traveling to Washington to try to convince lawmakers to reach a deficit-reduction deal. Those CEOs, part of a campaign called "Fix the Debt," have said policy makers should agree to a combination of tax increases and changes to entitlement programs like Medicare. The White House is still finalizing the list of CEOs attending the meeting.

Big Brother is a combination of monitoring methods. Unlike SNMP where information is just collected and devices polled, Big Brother is designed in such a way that each local system broadcasts its own information to a central location. Simultaneously, Big Brother also polls all networked systems from a central location. This creates a highly efficient and redundant method for proactive network monitoring.
curl and libcurl is a tool for transferring files using URL syntax. It supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, FTPS, SCP, SFTP, TFTP, DICT, TELNET, LDAP, POP3, IMAP, SMTP, RTSP, RTMP, and FILE, as well as HTTP-post, HTTP-put, cookies, FTP upload, resumed transfers, passwords, port numbers, SSL certificates, Kerberos, and proxies. It is powered by libcurl, the client-side URL transfer library. There are bindings to libcurl for about 40 languages and environments.
DansGuardian is a Web content filtering proxy that uses Squid to do all the fetching. It filters using multiple methods including, but not limited to, phrase matching, file extension matching, MIME type matching, PICS filtering, and URL/domain blocking. It has the ability to switch off filtering by certain criteria including username, domain name, source IP, etc. The configurable logging produces a log in an easy to read format. It has the option to only log text-based pages, thus significantly reducing redundant information (such as every image on a page).
DeleGate is a multi-purpose application level gateway or proxy server that mediates communication of various protocols, applying cache and conversion for mediated data, controlling access from clients, and routing toward servers. It translates protocols between clients and servers, converting between IPv4 and IPv6, applying SSL (TLS) to arbitrary protocols, merging several servers into a single server view with aliasing and filtering. It can be used as a simple origin server for some protocols (HTTP, FTP, and NNTP).
Ettercap is a network sniffer/interceptor/logger for ethernet LANs. It supports active and passive dissection of many protocols (even ciphered ones, like SSH and HTTPS). Data injection in an established connection and filtering on the fly is also possible, keeping the connection synchronized. Many sniffing modes were implemented to give you a powerful and complete sniffing suite. Plugins are supported. It has the ability to check whether you are in a switched LAN or not, and to use OS fingerprints (active or passive) to let you know the geometry of the LAN.
getmail is intended as a simple, secure, and reliable replacement for fetchmail. It retrieves email (either all messages, or only unread messages) from one or more POP3, SPDS, or IMAP4 servers (with or without SSL) for one or more email accounts, and reliably delivers into qmail-style Maildirs, mboxrd files, or through external MDAs (command deliveries) specified on a per-account basis. getmail also has excellent support for domain (multidrop) mailboxes, including delivering messages to different users or destinations based on the envelope recipient address.
GKrellM is a GTK-based stacked monitor program that charts SMP CPUs, disks, load, active net interfaces, and internet connections. There are also builtin monitors for memory and swap, file systems with mount/umount feature, mailbox checking including POP3 and IMAP, clock/calendar, laptop battery, sensors (temperatures, voltages, and fans), and uptime. It has LEDs for the net monitors and an on/off button and online timer for PPP. There is a GUI popup for configuration, plugin extensions can be installed, and many themes are available. It also features a client/server monitoring capability.

Well it sure can be draining, especially if you get caught up in a million little dramas like this one. Is how I see it.
I don't get how seeing relationships with our children as full-on partnerships is accurate. So, like do you pay the rent and the toddler does the utilities and groceries? You work days, they work nights?
It is not a partnership. It is a parent-child relationship.
But, as a partnership, I mean that no one is the boss over another person. We each discuss our feelings and needs and work together to find solutions where everyone is satisfied. That just is easier than struggling over every little thing, imo.

The national and international press is taking note of the Republican sea change in North Carolina and its new governor, John Frank reports.
The latest clip comes from the Economist in a Feb. 16 piece titled "Farewell to Purple." The article details the North Carolina's credentials as a swing state, such as Mitt Romney's 92,004-vote victory in 2012 and President Barack Obama's 14,177-vote win four years earlier, and juxtaposes it against the current reality of completely Republican control of the lawmaking process.
The key, the article notes, is Republican Gov. Pat McCrory, a former non-ideologue mayor who has "recently been dipping his toes in more partisan waters." In conclusion, it highlights McCrory's recent controversial comments about higher education to make its point: "It seems that Mr McCrory, like his state, is turning right."
McCrory's remarks about teaching liberal arts education are also featured in New York magazine's Feb. 11 edition on the "Approval Matrix," a graphic that serves as the magazine's "oversimplified guide to who falls where on our taste hierarchies."
In the grid, McCrory ranks second most "despicable" for his higher education remarks about how the state shouldn't help pay for courses like gender studies. "The egghead-hating governor of North Carolina wants to stop "subsidizing" the liberal arts. Will UNC because a trade school?" it asks, next to McCrory's photo.
The only more despicable item in the graphic is Alex Rodriquez of the New York Yankees for his potential use of steroids.

Days before NBA draft, scouts size up Anthony Davis, Brad Beal, more
Story Highlights
Toughness continues to be North Carolina forward Harrison Barnes' biggest issue
Some scouts believe Anthony Davis is mixure of Tim Duncan and Kevin Durant
Perry Jones' inconsistency has some scouts questioning his NBA sustainability
Finch is really, really busy these days. He works late, gets up early, and sleeps very little in between. This is the most stressful week of Finch's year, but it's also the most exciting. All that traveling, all that work, all that analyzing will finally come to fruition on Thursday night. When it's over, Finch will exhale. Then he'll get up early Friday morning and get right back to work.
Finch is an NBA scout -- sort of. He's actually an amalgam of six NBA scouts, coaches and executives that I spoke with over the last two weeks to get their thoughts on the current crop of draftable collegians. I have culled together all their quotes into one smooth paragraph uttered by a character named "Finch," a nom de plume coined by my colleague Alex Wolff many years ago to describe an anonymous scout who was the subject of an SI story. (Alex chose the name "Finch" because it was Scout's surname in To Kill A Mockingbird. And NBA scouts like to remain anonymous so they can say what they really think.)
It wasn't always to derive a consensus on the prospects, because not all six of my guys felt the same about each one. But the paragraphs below are the closest you will find outlining the general feeling about 52 college players hoping to hear their names called at the NBA draft Thursday night. That will be a big moment for these players, but when David Stern hands each of them their hats, I suggest the players tip them in Finch's direction. He's the one who put in all those hours, flew all those miles, and stayed in all those crummy hotels to help make their dreams come true.
Draft night would be Finch's dream come true if he ever went to sleep. This week, all he can do is daydream. Here's what Finch had to say about ...
Quincy Acy, 6-7 forward, Baylor: "He's an undersized Kenneth Faried type. High character kid, not a great offensive player, but he's an energy guy off the bench."
Harrison Barnes, 6-8 forward, North Carolina: "I can't figure him out. I want him to be better than he is, yet what he is is pretty good. His biggest problem is he doesn't have enough toughness. This is a man's league and I don't know for sure if he's the type of guy who will step on you when you're down."
Will Barton, 6-6 forward, Memphis: "I'm a fan. Tough kid, high energy, he can dribble and pass, and he can rebound well for a little guy. I think he likes to win. He cares. His skinny body worries me a little bit, but he just figures out a way to compete out there."
Bradley Beal, 6-5 guard, Florida: "Phenomenal body, good shooter, not an over-the-top athlete but he's good enough. He's also a great kid, almost presidential. He's got a great stroke. Reminds you of Ray Allen, and he can really rebound. Strong kid."
J'Covan Brown, 6-2 guard, Texas: "He hurt himself as much as anybody [at the predraft combine] in Chicago. He came in heavy and slow. He makes baskets, but I don't know what he is. He's a non-athlete. He did a good job for Rick Barnes this year with all those freshmen, so I give him credit for that."
William Buford, 6-5 guard, Ohio State: "He looked a little heavy at the combine, didn't shoot it real well, so he probably hurt himself. I wouldn't draft him. I don't think he likes to play. I don't think he has enough toughness."
Jae Crowder, 6-6 guard, Marquette: "Size is an issue because he measured small in Chicago, but he just does enough things well. High motor, high energy, rebounds. For a mid-second-round guy, he's not bad. I don't know quite what his NBA skill is other than he plays hard."
Anthony Davis, 6-10 forward, Kentucky: "I have zero red flags. People say strength, but he's no weaker than Kevin Durant was. Whatever 'it' is, this kid's got it. He has a little bit of Duncan and a little bit of a Durant. The sky's the limit."
Andre Drummond, 7-foot center, UConn: "Physically, he's off the charts. I personally don't like him, but it scares me to death to not like him. He's so big, agile and athletic, and by all accounts he's a great, great guy. I don't think he's immature, he's just underdeveloped. The question is whether he loves to play and how hard will he work. People forget he made his decision to go to UConn late and he had some NCAA issues, so he didn't get a normal preseason."
Kim English, 6-6 guard, Missouri: "He's a one-dimensional player, but it's the right dimension. The guy can really shoot it. I could see someone pulling the trigger on him."
Festus Ezeli, 6-11 center, Vanderbilt: "I've watched that guy a lot. I don't know what he's doing sometimes, but he's got a great body. He's a big, big man. Thick and strong, and he uses his size. If you're picking at number 26, and you're looking for a big backup center, he's a good pick."
Drew Gordon, 6-9 forward, New Mexico: "Someone will take him in the second round. He can rebound and that's a skill that translates. Maybe a little undersized, but he could be a backup four somewhere."
Draymond Green, 6-7 forward, Michigan State: "I'm not feeling [him]. I think he's an average athlete. He has a high I.Q. and he's coachable, so he'll survive for a while. He has versatility, can really handle the ball, and his shot's not broken."
Moe Harkless, 6-9 forward, St. John's: "We interviewed him. Talk about a sharp kid. He was raised well. He still has to develop his skill set, but I think he goes in the middle of the first round. He doesn't dribble, but he has a soft touch and shoots it decently. Two years from now, we might be saying, 'Wow, that guy was picked 20th?'"
John Henson, 6-10 forward, North Carolina: "His body has gotten better, although he still needs to work on it. He's a solid rotation player. His shot is greatly improved from his freshman year. He's not Ray Allen or anything, but he's not Reggie Evans anymore, either. I worry about kids who have high centers of gravity, because that usually means they have poor balance."
Tu Holloway, 6-foot guard, Xavier: "He probably goes undrafted, maybe the end of the second round. I just don't know what he does."
Robbie Hummel, 6-8 forward, Purdue: "I like Robbie. I think he's finally getting healthy. He's the kind of guy you want to have. He's a better athlete than you think. His knees don't seem to be an issue."
John Jenkins, 6-4 guard, Vanderbilt: "Probably a late first-rounder because he has that elite skill as a shooter. But he's a little undersized. Strictly a catch-and-shoot guy. Kind of like the Jodie Meeks of the draft. He measured well in Chicago. What he did at Vanderbilt speaks for itself. He has really improved his body and his strength since the season ended."
Orlando Johnson, 6-5 guard UC Santa Barbara: "He's a fifth-year senior, so he's more mature than these other guys. Strong body, can shoot it pretty well, surprisingly vertical athlete. He can really shoot at the college line, but he's still adjusting to the NBA line."
Kris Joseph, 6-7 forward, Syracuse: "He tested pretty well in Chicago and shot it decent. He had a good body of work at Syracuse, but the sum of his parts is more than the whole. He has ability, but you're just waiting for him to do more."
Darius Johnson-Odom, 6-3 guard, Marquette: "He's a killer. I like him. He's going to will himself into our league. He can score, he can guard, and he'll make your practices better."
Perry Jones, 6-11 forward, Baylor: "He's such a neat kid and you root for him, but how do you have that skill set and be that inconsistent? Over 82 games, there will be 30 where you're going to wonder if he's even on your team. He is who he is. He makes plays that take your breath away, and then he disappears for a while. You see him get his ass kicked by Kevin Jones or Thomas Robinson or Jeff Withey and you wonder when things are going to click."
Terrence Jones, 6-9 forward, Kentucky: "I'm not as high on him as a lot of people are. I don't view him as a strong athlete, and yet I don't view him as a strong bull, either. He's kind of in between. He wants to be a three, but he's a four who can dribble. He'll make just enough shots that you have to go get him. Whoever drafts him is going to have to keep a thumb on him, because he's not a self-starter. That's a problem at this level."
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, 6-7 forward, Kentucky: "Your first reaction is how hard he plays. He's not crazy long, but he's long enough. He's not a great shooter, but when guys work that hard, they tend to get better. He's as athletic as Gerald Wallace, but he's a better shooter. He needs to work on his shooting and his ballhandling is just average."
Doron Lamb, 6-5 guard, Kentucky: "Very solid basketball player. Can shoot it, defend. He'd be a good combo guard coming off the bench."

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Startling new details emerged Monday during a termination hearing for a Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officer accused of failing to report that an assault victim came to his home for help.
Capt. Chuck Adkins did not alert law enforcement after speaking with a 19-year-old woman who had been kidnapped, handcuffed to a toilet and beaten, according to testimony from CMPD investigators.
The woman worked as a prostitute and was fleeing a pimp in September when she spotted Adkins outside his house and asked to use his phone, officers and attorneys said. She had suffered visible injuries, including facial swelling and marks on her wrists and dried blood, they said.
But instead of calling police, Adkins allowed the woman to use his cell phone to contact a friend for a ride.
CMPD had revealed little about the case before Monday's hearing.
Civil Service Board hearings are almost always closed, but Adkins has requested an open hearing, which means anyone in the public can attend. It is the first open board hearing since 2007.
Adkins, who last served as a watch commander overseeing police operations on nights or weekends, says he invited the woman inside his home and encouraged her to report the crime. Adkins also has said he took a sleeping pill before the late-night encounter and was groggy.
"This man was nice to her," said his attorney, Marc Gustafson. "He gave her a phone. That's what he was supposed to do. He got her to safety."
But CMPD policy dictates officers report domestic violence when there are signs of physical injury, investigators said.
"This is a very serious matter that goes to the heart of the function of a police officer," said attorney Bob McDonnell, who is representing the police department.
The case is now part of a federal investigation. Details remain sketchy, but officers testified the Department of Homeland Security has interviewed the woman.
They did not say who the federal probe was targeting or what allegations the Department of Homeland Security were investigating.
Two men have been charged with kidnapping the woman who came to Adkins' home. Authorities did not divulge their names, ages or other identifying information.
The testimony came during a Civil Service Board termination appeals hearing for Adkins. Charlotte-Mecklenburg police recommended his firing Oct. 12.
Officers can appeal a termination to the Civil Service Board, a group of civilians that reviews disciplinary actions for police and firefighters.
The panel, which can overturn or lessen punishments, plans to listen to testimony Tuesday and Wednesday before going into deliberations.
In addition to failing to immediately report his interaction with a battered woman, CMPD alleges Adkins violated department policy when he took a second job with a private security company.
He had received notice his bosses wanted to fire him, but was still considered a department employee.
Adkins is arguing his actions do not warrant termination. His attorney argued he needed to take the second job to support his family, with his CMPD employment in jeopardy.
The episode started in September when the woman was lured to a Matthews hotel, according to testimony from CMPD.
She was assaulted, kidnapped and taken to a home in northeast Charlotte.
The woman escaped through a window and later approached Adkins as he tinkered in his garage, with his police cruiser parked outside.
He noticed she was bruised. In a brief conversation, the woman told him her boyfriend had beaten her at a house nearby and she had fled. She then used the officer's cell phone to call a friend for a ride.
The next day, Adkins took his family on beach trip. A day later, he was reading the Observer when he saw a photo of the woman, who was reported missing.
Adkins called the missing persons unit and told them he talked with the woman. He told investigators she had used his cell phone to call for a ride. The investigator dialed that number and made contact with the woman, who was unharmed.
A few days later, the department suspended him.

Sashimi and Beer... Yummm – Had a big plate of sashimi and a large bottle of Kirin Dry when I was there. I'm from New Jersey so I was very lucky to have randomly found this little, delightful, and crapped sushi joint. The owner was very nice too and we talked to her for a little while and got a lil' history about the place. It's casual and noisy so go only if you plan on eating some great fresh fat slices of fish and throwing back a few beers with only a couple buddies. I happened to have gone there with my girl and she had a blast too so only bring a date if you guys don't mind the noise and hustle bustle.

AMERICUS, GA – The 10th-ranked North Georgia baseball team completed a doubleheader sweep of Georgia Southwestern on Saturday afternoon, taking the opener 2-0, before coming back with a 5-2 nightcap win at Hurricane Field in Peach Belt Conference action
The Saints improve to 14-6 overall on the year after taking both ends of the doubleheader, moving to 3-5 in Peach Belt Conference action. The Hurricanes drop their first two league games of the season, falling to 12-9 overall and 3-2 in PBC play.
Game one was all about great pitching and timely hitting as North Georgia starter Blake Hobby (2-1) continued to shine on the mound, tossing 8.0 scoreless innings for his second win of the year. Jacob Rickett also got the job down out of the bullpen, picking up his fifth save of the season as he tallied a strikeout and allowed a hit in a scoreless ninth frame.
The timely hitting started in the sixth inning when Jordan Erisman singled to lead off the inning, and after Derek Hooper put down a sacrifice bunt, Kenny Bellavance connected with a two-out single to left field, sending Erisman home for what would be the winning run.
The Saints then put together three hits in the ninth inning, capped by a single from Erisman to plate Brad Hall for an insurance run and give North Georgia a 2-0 victory in the series opener.
The Saints carried their momentum into the second game of the day when Bellavance coaxed a two-out bases-loaded walk in the first inning to send Hooper trotting home and give North Georgia a 1-0 lead.
The Hurricanes answered in the second inning with their first runs of the game and the series when Jarrod Taylor lined a two-out double to center field, scoring a pair of runs and giving Georgia Southwestern a 2-1 lead.
North Georgia wasted little time retaking the lead as Dustin Carpenter delivered a two-run double down the left field line in the third inning, plating Troy Snitker and Cameron Crawford to give the Saints the advantage right back at 3-2.
The offense would add single runs in the seventh and ninth innings, including a double to left center by Snitker to score the final run of the game in a 5-2 North Georgia victory.
Wes Coberly (2-0) picked up the win for the Saints, lasting 7.0 innings and allowing two runs on just four hits. The freshman walked a trio of batters, but added three strikeouts on his way to the victory. Jesse Coxwell pitched the eighth inning and into the ninth where Daniel Warzon came on to get the final out and record his first save of the season.
The Saints will go for the series sweep on Sunday afternoon, with first pitch set for 1:00 p.m. at Hurricane Field in Americus, Georgia.

How to create a Bitdefender Rescue CD
1) How to create a Rescue CD from a CD
In order to create the Bitdefender RescueCD you will need to .iso image and also a CD/DVD burning application. In our example we will be using a freeware software called InfraRecorder to exemplify the procedure:
- download and save the .iso file available here;
- download InfraRecorder or open up any other CD/DVD burning application you usually use to create CDs/DVDs;
- In the image below we have the option "Write Image" - select it then browse to the location where you saved the .iso file downloaded earlier
select Open then burn the image onto a CD/DVD
- restart the system and make sure your Bios is set to boot from CD, then boot the image you just created.
2) How to create a Rescue CD from a USB
- Download the Bitdefender Rescue CD to your desktop.
- Download the Windows version of the UNetbootin - Universal Netboot Installer to your desktop.
- Double click the UNetbootin - Universal Netboot Installer to start it.
You'll see the following screen. Select the options as shown below.
Important! Check that the correct drive letter is selected for your USB Drive. If not, you may overwrite important data!
Click on OK to load the next screen. This shows each stage of the creation process. There will be some long pauses as the large files are extracted and copied, so be patient.
Once completed, you'll see the below screen...
- Do not click on the Reboot Now button! Simply click on the Exit button and remove the USB drive. The Bitdefender Rescue USB is now ready for use.
Using the Bitdefender Rescue USB
To use the bootable USB simply plug in the USB to the infected computer and and then start the computer. During the boot process, choose USB or Removable Drive as the first boot option from system BIOS or use the F8, F12 or ESC key during the boot process for the BIOS screen to choose the boot options. (Using the F8, F12 or ESC key will depend on the make and model of the computer. Look at the screen when the startup first begins to determine what option you need to choose. Tapping the key during startup will activate the boot options.)
If the above method does not work to boot the USB then see here. Common USB BIOS boot options .
Caution!! Changing settings in the computer BIOS should only be done by skilled users.
You should not have to change any of the options during the boot process. Just let everything load and the scan will begin. On the very first menu, do not select *Console Mode* unless you are an advanced Linux user.
When the scan is complete, let Bitdefender remove or quarantine anything found and then exit the Bitdefender scanner.
Right click an empty space on the desktop and choose Exit from the menu. You will see Linux go through an unloading process. At the end it will say to remove the CD from the CD/DVD drive but using this method you will remove the USB Drive. Next press the Enter/Return key on your keyboard to Exit and turn off the computer.
Restart the computer normally.
Note: If the booting from USB option isn't available on your computer, you'll need to boot from the CD/DVD drive using a CD burned from the Bitdefender Rescue Disk .iso file.
